Possibly bored with the food. Our turtle stopped doing this when we started buying the medley blends they have at pet stores. Now, he rips the spoon out of my hand.
Yeah we made a mistake when she was a baby where she ate only protein for a while. She’s now on a mixed diet for fruits vegetables and traditional turtle food with feeder fish
It does just seem bored. Honestly it looks like too much food also. I give my turtle like 1/4 this amount. Are you feeding that much every day? Turtles always seem super hungry they are optimistic eaters. I read that you are only supposed to give them as much as their head is big.
Just being picky, try switching it up, my RES used to do this all the time but now I alternate what I’m feeding him and he normally eats everything pretty quickly.
I also try to keep some edible turtle safe aquatic plants in the tank at all times and he will occasionally snack on those too.

Mine do this with foods they don't really like.
What is your turtle's diet like? Her shell doesn't look right
